Who really discovered Arnel Pineda?

[Rick]

This was while there was a lot of negativity about me here and elsewhere by JSS fans, which I think also played into Neal's paranoia about me..

I think some of your own fans were guilty of the exact same thing and may have led to some of that "paranoia." It was a crazy time.

Eh. Not as much. My favorites were the JSS fans (I think his road manager that posts here as well) posted unflattering pictures of me from my impressions show about 6 years ago calling me a clown and what a joke Journey was. Well, water under the bridge as it was, to quote a phrase!

dang bro, you're always supplying little pieces of the puzzle, like throwing us some bird feed once in a while, go ahead and write that one "tells all" blog, story, book, etc, and let's read it all in one setting. lol.. And get your ass to Dallas!!

I think he's scheduled to come here already, no?

Ahh, you'll be in Dallas too, huh? Gonna be too cool to come say hi to your MR brethren again? I'm willing to forget Vegas and get off your back if you at least stop by and say hello.

Agreed, come hang out with us. We're a lot of fun.

You know, not sure if he's referring to Dallas in general, or to the July gig, but yes... no hard feelings, and we'll all have a very good time. Heck, I'm feeling bad for pounding on you in the first place. I apologize, and I'm sincere about that. I'll pour myself a Nice Cup of STFU just for doing so. And Rick will drink it for me...

That's interesting, but who first posted them on this site? I reckon Neal saw the links on here.

I agree

I take it you would have liked an acknowledgment ?

LOL...if I got upset at all the missed credits/stolen ideas over the years....well, you know...that's not why I do this anyway, so it doesn't matter

I don't know for sure where Arnel's name first came to the attention of others, but I do know the first time it came to mine was the many posts here. I spent some time admiring his Survivor covers and thinking Frankie could use him.

I seem to recall Jeff saying in an interview Neal first heard about him and contacted him through MR/you. Damn Drew, Journey's last 2 lead vocalists! You're missing out on some serious finders fees here!

LOL - I did give Neal Jeff's numbers, then I called JSS and said you will be hearign from someone very shortly

[Andrew]

Didn't he basically give you credit for bringing Soto to his attention? That should be good enough.

He did and it is. Your point?
